Coursed squared marlstone, rubble and some ashlar dressings; thatch and Stonesfield-slate roofs with limestone-ashlar stacks. One 3-unit and four 2-unit plans. 2 storeys. Nos.2 and 3 are probably older and are linked by a bay containing a wide segmental archway with heavy hood mould and moulded imposts. Nos.1, to left, and No.4 (formerly Nos.4 and 5) to right are probably early C19 and have stone-slate roofs with gable parapets. 11-window front of row has, at ground floor, plank doors, nine 3-light and one 2-light casements all with moulded stone surrounds, labels and leaded glazing; at first floor, casements are mostly of 3 lights and some retain leaded glazing. Roof has 5 stacks. C19 wing to rear of No.3 is linked to a 2-storey rubble and Welsh-slate building of one bay with 3-light leaded casements, which is also linked to the C19 forge, lying parallel to the row. This is of ashlar with a Stonesfield-slate roof, and has a large entrance to left, a segmental-arched doorway to right and a central wood mullioned and transomed window under a flat arch. The roof is hipped to left and collapsed to right, and has a central ashlar stack. Interiors not inspected. The later houses may be C18 buildings re-modelled. (County Sites and Monuments Record).
